The North America Surgical Drains Wound Drainage Market would witness market growth of 3.0% CAGR during the forecast period (2018 – 2024).

The regular use of drains in surgical procedures has been diminishing over the years, as better radiological investigation and confidence in surgical techniques have limited the need for the same. With advancements in the field, it is found that drains could hinder recovery by acting as an 'anchor', and at the same time limiting mobility post-surgery. It is also found that, the use of drains may lead to infections in the wound. Despite the case, the use of drains is inevitable in some cases. Drains may be hooked to wall suction, to a portable suction device, or they may be left to drain naturally. Accurate recording of the volume of drainage and the contents is vital to create a proper healing environment and also monitor excessive bleeding conditions. Depending on the amount of drainage, the drain may be in place for one day to almost weeks. Drains will have protective dressings that will need to be changed dailyas needed. The growing cases of chronic wounds and surgical site infections, growing surgical procedures, rising geriatric population, and higher adoption & awareness of advanced surgical & wound care products are the major factors that have driven the growth of the surgical drains market in North America.
